Fretz Circle Texturing Hammer

HMR-15

The Fretz Circle Texturing Hammer has two round faces with deep concave centers for creating circular or swirl textures on soft metals. With each strike, the circular edge of the hammer face leaves an imprint. Multiple, overlapping strikes will create a random swirl texture. The two different-size heads can be used alone or combined to create interesting effects.

The Basics

Fretz Mid-Size Hammers are scaled-down versions of traditional silversmithing hammers and available in many of the same styles. Average head length is 75 mm. The classic shapes are great for planishing, embossing, raising, and more. They feature 420 stainless steel heads hardened to 50Rc and polished to a mirror-bright finish. The 220 mm (8.66") long rosewood handles are shaped to provide perfect balance and control.
